Collecting Model Horses is a great hobby for anyone who loves horses, but can't manage all the care a real horse demands. You can make tack, equip your horses for various show classes, and enter them in live horse shows or photo shows via the mail or internet.

In the process you can research pedigrees for your model string and learn some of the key requirements for horse show classes. On the serious collector side, you can collect some marvellous artists resins and commission skillfull specialists to bring out exacting details of conformation and coloring. Just like the real world of horses, there is a niche for everyone. Take a look at some of these types of model horses, you may just fall in love.
